I currently work for my University at our information desk. Mainly I answer the phone and redirect the calls, answer questions in person (Where is this office located, who do I talk to for this, etc.) and I hand out ping pong and pool equipment. If I'm working the night shift, sometimes we have to set up for events and whatnot. It's usually a lot of sitting around and browsing Facebook and Reddit, plus I can get homework done during my gift too. It's an awesome job, and I love it, except it pays by the month instead of bi-weekly, so by the end of the month, those that have on-campus jobs are usually strapped for cash.

Never had a job and I dropped out of high school when I was 15. In the last couple of years I've been going to TAFE (aka technical college) and got my year 11 equivalent but dropped out again before finishing my year 12.

Currently undertaking hospitality training to get a job as a waiter or barista.

I sell cocaine and cocaine accessories.

I also work in a shop called the Co-operative. I carry out quite a few roles, including stacking, sorting newspapers and recycling, and working on the till.

I currently work full time in a fine wine store. Started 3 weeks ago and will work until June when I am going to the US/Canada to present at a conference and then start my PhD. I also tutor both privately and for a company which I absolutely love.

Have held lots of jobs before this though such as 3 years working at the kiosk in a mental hospital which was interesting.

I always used to do a summer job to pay my uni fees whichi ranged from factory work (I made bolts :D ) to working on wheat bins in rural WA and other fun things.

I work part-time as a lifeguard to bring in some extra cash. Nothing too exciting.

I've been working at a radio station as a DJ and audio engineer for about two years. It started as just a fun thing to do with some friends, but recently I've gotten pretty serious about it and want to see where audio production could take me. One of my professors is pushing me into checking out NPR or BBC when I graduate, and I'm seriously considering it.

On the weekends I work as a call taker at a local cab company, I talk to drunk customers all night and send them taxis.

BM - you really need to get a job at BBC. and get me coppies of planet earth and other sweet stuff ;)

It's really more frustrating dealing with customers that don't speak English, half of them don't know where they are + have no idea how to say / spell the street name that they're on. I have to hang up on some of them it gets so bad. Working at Best Buy is pretty easy and fun, today for the first 30 minutes of our shift the entire staff played word arranging games and everyone was getting super into it. It was hilarious.

I work full time (40ish hours) as a manager at the local McDonald's. I spend my day cooking (literally) thousands of burgers or dealing with arrogant customers who I don't really want to talk to and who don't really want to talk to me. I also have to look after the staff, ensure that they are all working efficiently, aren't in any immediate danger and that the customers are happy and not dying.
I also am in charge of the Apprenticeship program that was set up by the Government a few years back. Basically it's like getting A-Levels whilst you work. All based around Maths and English, but applied to what goes into running the store.
I work shift work, which changed on a day to day basis. I have an early tomorrow, then a late on Wednesday, then a day on Thursday. I guess I like my job, especially since the promotion, but it does come with it's downfalls, like with all jobs that involve the public. I have had things thrown at me, called every name under the sun, even threats to my life... (funny story). Apart from those jackasses, the general atmosphere is great. I enjoy working with people, and I enjoy working in a customer driven environment. The people are good, and you can always have a laugh with anybody, just have to try hard enough. I regularly have the Business Manager threaten to headbutt me. Actually happened at the last meeting...

I just started working as valet for one of the nicest Mercedes Benz dealerships in the country. Apparently they have the most sales of any other Benz dealership but I park cars, move cars, re-park cars that are blocking cars that mechanics need, and deliver cars to customers once all is said and done.

I love driving so I really enjoy the work. It's 8:30-1:30 mon-sat so I'll be able to start taking classes and continue working. Minimum wage isn't going to cut it because I really want to get my own place despite how expensive it is in southern california, but Machinima has room for another editor and they want me to fill it, only I don't have any means of transportation yet -_-

Soon though!

Indeed, MM.
Times are rough for a DJ, though. Especially in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. We have the 3rd largest market in the country, and a few months ago they took away our "alternative" rock station. It's alllll pop now. No rock and/or roll in Chicago?!? FML.

Defeat do you do any Djing? I've recently gotten into mixing and I'm always curious to hear from other people about it.

Blackmage - also curious about your stuff as well!

I'm actually supposed to be working with a DJ later tonight. I have a song in mind, and the engineer will make my ideas come to life, and then a SECOND engineer will through some bass drops from the dubstep scene in.
